Mr.. E. r. Dnrkee. tells Of his experienc !
with neighbor while residing 10 Flushing,
H. l., which might be adduced as evidence
Of the truthfulness of DR.. Talmage's state
ment that there are men with souls that
forty OF them at once can dance on the
point of a PIN, and swing partners without
touching elbows.
Mr.. Durkee occupied one of the many
pretty cottages in Flushing, surrounded
by considerable ground He was very
fond Of poultry and gathered large varie.
ty, some OF which we're quite rare and val
uable. Mr.. Durkee enjoyed very much
going out to visit his chicks and feeding
them, particularly on Sunday mornings,
when he was not obliged to hurry off to
the city.
One bright Sunday summer morning be
was out as usual, surrounded by his flock
OF poultry, and it 80 happened that the
owner OF the next villa, q Mr.. Smith, was
feeding his chickens also When the two
gentleman discovered each other, they
walked up to the line fence and we're chat
ting, when Mr.. Durkee's breakfast bell
rang. He said Cool morning." aud
started TO go 10, but had proceeded only
a few steps when his neighbor spoke on,
saying: by the way, about four weeks
ago one Of your chickens strayed over into
my garden. and | told my man to take
care OF it "Mr Dnrkee thanked hIm ana
said be would send man for the chicke
after breakfast, and turned to SO
into the house. After proceeding about
as far as before, Mr.. Smith spoke out
again, saying, "By the way what do you
think would be right for me to charge for
the board OF that chicken Mr.. Durkee.
without a smile, replied that he bad meyer
boarded any chickens aud was therefore
not competent judge, at the same time
asking Mr.. Smith what he thought would
be right. The latter replied, "Well, you
know want to be neighboriy and do what
is fair. Do you think two cents a week
would be too much?' Mr. Durkee res
ponded. saying; Certainly not; on the
contrary, think two cents per week very
reasonable"
Mr. Dnrkee says be actually took out
OF his pocket, then and there, ten cent
piece. aud handed it TO his neighbor, and
received back two cents in change, which
was 10 full for the board Of one chicken
four weeks At two cents per week.
But the explanation which Mr. Smith
gave was yet more surprising. "You see "
said be, 1--we got growing boy prom
ised 10 give him the chickens board--f
you paid il. I'm trying 70 teach him the
value OF money"
